A member asked:

What are symptoms of thickening of the gallbladder wall?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Symptoms: Are a description of what a person feels. There may be no symptoms from an isolated radiology finding of gallbladder wall thickening. If it is associated with gallstones, then some chronic gallbladder inflammation or irritation may be present.
